2 happy sequels

 On the trail just a while ago,  I happen to run into the neighbour and her dog. Or should i say the dog and my neighbour. We even walked together a bit. "Good doggie", amazing.

So all is well in the world. The 3 dogs I had problems with over the winter, all is resolved quite miraculously. And I would say, by just seeing one of the 3 dogs, the dogs  are probably happier for it too. It can 't be nice to be a growling,  barking, chasing cars kind of dog.

 How did it resolve you might ask. I kept pretty polite all through the ordeal, but  I was clear and out spoken, that the behavior of two of the 3 dogs was unacceptable. 

Our problems with the dogs had worsened when the owner of the neighbouring property had gone on a holiday.  Leaving his dogs home in the care of other people. When he came back after 3 weeks dog no 3 did not recognize him and  the dog did his spiel of running around his car (driving on the public road, approaching the property). My dear neighbour,  obviously, now saw the outrageousness of it. And even apologized. But problem solved; all dogs behave now in a more neighbourly fashion. One has an electric collar.

Maybe I even try to climb the hill behind the neighbours property again, I  haven't gone there  this winter, as i do not like to be chased and barked and growled at  by dogs.

meditation and love, wink wink, i try.

And the second sequel on the harvesting of cambium, i feel i found a happy way, not  feeling destructive. using branches and bringing home the top of a small tree from  far in the forest.

And listening to a talk, Bruce Bennett on  'the Galapagos of the North.' Our Boreal forest  here in the Yukon are expanding, at the cost of a type of grassland. So maybe i do something for the  endangered grassland species by eating a lot of Pine and Spruce.

sun sun sun and white snow, below zero  days again, but glory never the less.

Glad to hear that the situation with the neighbor's dogs seems to have been resolved. And good that you have found a different way to harvest the cambium. :)
